Old Photos

I thought It would be fun to change a few of our favorite photos in this program. You can do the same with the Bakamatsu Koshashin Generator

What is this?

As I was walking out to my car after taking Kenzie to kindergarten I saw this on my tail light. Nice. I have no idea how long I've been driving around town with this little attachment.

Austin's PJ's

Merry Christmas! I intended this to be a Christmas present for Austin. I guess it's better late than never. This is my first attempt at pajama bottoms. Jeremiah doesn't know it yet but Austin and him will have matching pajamas...Yeah! Something tells me that the only person excited about this idea is Austin.

Disney Land Trip 2008

We went to California in September was the best vacation of all time. We sent three WHOLE days at Disneyland, one at Sea World, and one day at the beach. Our favorite ride was the pirates of the caribbean ride (of course). It took a lot of convincing for Kenzie to believe that the pirates were puppets and not real people. I think we went on every ride we could, even Splash Mountain. I was surprised that they let us on (because of the height requirements) but I guess that's what happens right before closing time when the teenagers are in charge of the ride. Poor Austin, we tried to get him on the rides that had height requirements. By the end of the trip he was a pro at standing on his tiptoes to get on the rides. It's hard to explain to a four year old that the three year old, who is taller gets to ride the ride while he has to sit out. BEACH! The kids were a bit shy around the ocean at first but after I forced them into the water they got the hang of it and I couldn't get them out. You'd think I would have gotten a NICE tan after spending the entire day at the beach....oh well.

Austin NEVER took his pirate mickey ears off during the whole trip!

Valentines Train

Makenzie and I spent Valentines day together while Jeremiah and Austin were traveling. This is a pictures of a Train that Makenzie's Sunday school teacher made for her. Makenzie loved it. I wish I thought of creative things like this.

Good Bye BC 1800 XL

I originally posted this video with the intention of removing it, but I sort of feel like the chipper was part of the family since we put so much into it. I know you shouldn't get emotionally attached to things...especially equipment, but I can't help it.

Last Saturday Jeremiah and Austin went to Arkansas to sell the Chipper. It was a happy and sad day as we said good-bye to the best chipper that we have ever owned. It was even better than the first chipper that survived a cliff jumping experience (talk about a bad day).

We realized last year that our tree service really needs a smaller chipper like a Vermeer BC 1000. If you have one of those laying around let us know....lol.

Sledding! This is the first time the kids went sledding. They had so much fun playing in the snow.

Iowa Trip

Trip to IOWA! The kids and I stayed with my grandparents during record cold temperatures. The above picture is a picture of Grandpa Roth the kids and me at the John Deere Center.

Makenzie & Austin with Great-Grandma & Grandpa Roth

Great-Grandma suggested that we take a picture of the kids in this special chair. This chair has been in the family for four generations (sorry if I got that wrong Grandma). Once Austin heard this he begged to have his picture taken in the chair every time he saw the camera.
